    Apple has been suppressing the resistance in russia. They dont give a fuck about freedom or democracy. It’s naive to think theyll do anything but enable trumps takeover

      Of course not. They’re a corporation. We like to think they’re perhaps less evil than others, but the truth is they would harvest their users internal organs if they thought it would increase shareholder value.

      Fuck Capitalism.

        We’ve known since the beginning their products are made off the suffering of slave labor. Them being evil isn’t new whatsoever.

      Tim Apple is literally a financial contributer to the Trump presidency. They are not being shy about their support. I’m Suprised it took them this long, but they’ve always been a bit behind with their maps project.

    The speed at which these people are capitulating is alarming. I mean it took them decades to even begin to do any kind of rainbow capitalism and they all ditched it like a hot potato in a split second.

    When you go to report an issue, and select “Name is wrong”, the send button never activates, whereas “something else” will.

    So this is a bit of capitulation that seems to be hard coded and they just don’t want to hear about it.

      It’s like the shitpost version of blitzkrieg. Just overwhelming you with absolute diarrhea for the soul. And it’s working, even though we all know it’s happening.

        You know, I had the shitty thought that at least back before chat communication, a robber baron (or it’s equal kind) had to actually hire thugs and henchmen to cause local chaos. Now it’s just some tech oligarch with some bots or a paid anonymous service causing disruption.

        We really got fucked over on this one. I’m really not sure how America pulls itself out of this one with the state of education and political polarization. The federal part of our government definitely isn’t offering up any solutions.

          You expressed it well. The best solution to our generational crisis is one that takes a generation or so to build-up (education) and that Republicans have already spent at least a generation already tearing down. We’re sitting ducks.

    Starting a petition to have places renamed for Canadians.

    No longer the USA, it shall be called the 4th Canadian territory: south central Canada

    The arctic shall be named: Suckitputin

    Greenland shall be named: Greenland (suckitmagats)

    Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

    Maybe if enough people file feedback on the name change they will reconsider. At least they will have a glut of feedback to deal with.

    Why are Americans so riled up about this?

    Do you guys not realize that this reaction is literally one of the reasons they do this? To be a distraction and to show their base that they made the bad people™ cry about it.

      For me, it’s the blatant racism with some fascist nationalism thrown in.

        Come on man if we are crying racism over this is nonsense no-one will actually listen to us when we are actually facing real racism.

        This is exactly what they want.

        I think you’re under thinking this.

        The primary focus of Trump since coming to office has been securing natural resources. Greenland, Canada, Ukraine all have rich mineral deposits. Even the Panama shit is about controlling a geographic “resource”…the canal.

        This rename is about making it sound like it belongs to the US. What’s there a lot of here? Oil. And it sits under international waters.

          The US already has a lot of rights to the oil there. but the rigs aren’t pumping because despite the drill, baby, drill crap US oil companies already have too much supply. He wants them to drill just to look like they’re doing more shit.
